Report: In Meeting, ‘Wild-Eyed’ Bush Thumped Chest While Repeating ‘I Am The President!’
Report: In Meeting, ‘Wild-Eyed’ Bush Thumped Chest While Repeating ‘I Am The President!’
Georgie Anne Geyer writes today in the Dallas Morning News about President Bush’s strange behavior during a recent meeting with “[f]riends of his from Texas.”
But by all reports, President Bush is more convinced than ever of his righteousness.
Friends of his from Texas were shocked recently to find him nearly wild-eyed, thumping himself on the chest three times while he repeated “I am the president!” He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could not get out of “our country’s destiny.”
This is the second time in recent weeks that accounts have surfaced of Bush lashing out or “ranting” in private meetings when responding to criticism of his Iraq policy. Chris Nelson of the Nelson Report offered a similar account earlier this month:
[S]ome big money players up from Texas recently paid a visit to their friend in the White House. The story goes that they got out exactly one question, and the rest of the meeting consisted of The President in an extended whine, a rant, actually, about no one understands him, the critics are all messed up, if only people would see what he’s doing things would be OK…etc., etc. This is called a “bunker mentality” and it’s not attractive when a friend does it. When the friend is the President of the United States, it can be downright dangerous. Apparently the Texas friends were suitably appalled, hence the story now in circulation.
Like the tearful House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), Bush needs to channel his bottled up emotions towards a more worthy end — winding down the war in Iraq rather than defending the status quo.

May 31st, 2007 at 2:40 pmHow odd – I just finished typing that Bush’s facial expression was “very strange” on the morning of 9/11 (see 15 mins. with Bush thread) and then I refresh the screen and voila – a story about Bush’s “strange behavior”.
Hmmmmmm….

May 31st, 2007 at 2:40 pmTripe
Tripe is the name commonly given to the stomach tissue of ruminant animals. Bovines have four stomachs through which their food undergoes different stages of digestion.
From the first, the rumen, comes the “blanket” tripe, so named because of its “pile”. It varies in thickness and is often accompanied with a layer of fat which needs to be removed.
The second stomach, the reticulum, produces “honeycomb” tripe, generally preferred by cooks because it keeps its shape during cooking and also because it holds, on its textured surface, the sauce in which it is cooked.
Tripe from the third stomach, the omasum, is known as “bible”, “book” or “seam” tripe.
Tripe from the fourth stomach, the abomasum, produces “reed tripe”-glandular tripe and is rarely used.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:40 pmTripe is almost always cleaned, bleached and par-cooked before it appears in butcher shops.
He needs to RESIGN NOW

And on that day he won’t be president but you’ll still be a neocon flunkie spewing for Rove and his new protege.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:45 pm“Well, he IS the President, right?
Comment by Jake”
Sure he is. And I think it’s wonderful that being in that role has given him such confidence and the courage of his convictions that he doesn’t feel he has to, oh I don’t know, do something outrageous like pound his chest and proclaim how “he’s the president.”
Oh wait.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:46 pmOn Wednesday, President Bush once again turned to AIDS for air cover in the battle for global opinion. This time, Bush is trying to deflect criticism of American global warming policy in advance of next week’s G8 summit. In 2003, of course, his problem was the looming Iraq war.
For the details, see:

He should have jacked-off in the sink instead.

May 31st, 2007 at 2:47 pmWhere were his handlers to keep him under control. I know he has them because Lewis Black talks about them. Obviously he needs them around him full time because he is entirely delusional.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:47 pmCan we deem him insane and relieve him of his duties now?

“He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could not get out of “our country’s destiny.â€
I was pondering this very thing this morning. Would our next president, even a Democrat, be able to leave entirely? Guess not.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:51 pmUnsourced, so I’m going to take it with a grain of salt.

May 31st, 2007 at 2:52 pmThere’s no surprise here. GDumbya has acted like this during his whole presi-duncy, no doubt. The only difference is that news is being leaked out about it now from some of the 28-percenters who are having second thoughts about the moron . . . finally.
The described behavior is typical of an active alcoholic like GDumbya — feelings of persecution, resentments, ego and inability to deal with reality.
GDumbya’s just been getting deep into the Jack Daniels again. That’s all it is. Now move along — there’s nothing to see here.

Oh, okay, thanks for putting things in perspective, Jake.
Hear that people? The president is NOT losing it. His behavior is NOT AT ALL strange or disconcerting because he’s just saying something that’s true. the fact that he’s the de facto leader of the free world, has miscaluclated so badly that there’s no way out of the mess he’s created and is still acting like a spoiled toddler is NOTHING TO GET ALARMED ABOUT.
Jake says so.

May 31st, 2007 at 2:56 pmSociopathy
Antisocial Personality Disorder is also known as psychopathy or sociopathy. Individuals with this disorder have little regard for the feeling and welfare of others. As a clinical diagnosis it is usually limited to those over age 18. It can be diagnosed in younger people if the they commit isolated antisocial acts and do not show signs of another mental disorder.
Antisocial Personality Disorder is chronic, beginning in adolescence and continuing throughout adulthood. There are ten general symptoms:
not learning from experience
no sense of responsibility
inability to form meaningful relationships
inability to control impulses
lack of moral sense
chronically antisocial behavior
no change in behavior after punishment
emotional immaturity
lack of guilt
self-centeredness
People with this disorder may exhibit criminal behavior. They may not work. If they do work, they are frequently absent or may quit suddenly. They do not consider other people’s wishes, welfare or rights. They can be manipulative and may lie to gain personal pleasure or profit. They may default on loans, fail to provide child support, or fail to care for their dependents adequately. High risk sexual behavior and substance abuse are common. Impulsiveness, failure to plan ahead, aggressiveness, irritability, irresponsibility, and a reckless disregard for their own safety and the safety of others are traits of the antisocial personality.
Socioeconomic status, gender, and genetic factors play a role. Males are more likely to be antisocial than females. Those from lower socioeconomic groups are more susceptible. A family history of the disorder puts one at higher risk.
There are many theories about the cause of Antisocial Personality Disorder including experiencing neglectful parenting as a child, low levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, and belief that antisocial behavior is justified because of difficult circumstances. Psychotherapy, group therapy, and family therapy are common treatments. The effects of medical treatment are inconclusive. Unfortunately, most people with Antisocial Personality Disorder reject treatment. Therefore, recovery rates are low.

Somebody wipe the drool off Jake’s chin.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:56 pmI’ve been thinking lately that a huge shortcoming of our constitution is that there is not a provision to remove a President for incompetence (other than every four years). I know it would take a lot of wrangling about what defines incompetence, but this President could definitely serve as the case study to come up with a clear definition. “High crimes and misdemeanors” is not only archaic but actually requires some level of law-breaking, and with teams of powerful lawyers at their disposal Presidents will always be able to find a way to get their way without crossing the line, since all they have to do is move the line.

Hey Foley, Teddy’s calling you out:
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country.â€
-Theodore Roosevelt
“To announce there must be no criticism of the President, and to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, it is morally treasonous to the American public.â€
– President Theodore Roosevelt
Are you unpatriotic, servile, morally treasonous or all three, Mr Foley?

Or later if Bush uses the “Emergency Powers Act” NSPD-51 that bush signed, and appoints himself dictator in case the country is “threatened”. Or didn’t you know that he’s put a back door in for himself to “remain” president if he sees fit?
Yeah, Bush is “nothing” like a dictator – Jake*ss. For 75, you have the brain of someone 7+5=12 years old. St*pid little man child.

Wow! Flaco, did you write that one yourself? Where do you come up with such genius metaphors? You know everytime I think about fighting back against the fascists troglodytes that intellectually challenged republicans and politcal corruption put in office – some staggering giant of intellect like yourself comes along and serves up a anecdote so pithy, so thoughtful, so tearfully-witty, that I just wonder why we should bother to fight back. Afterall, with such informed minions as yourself, who can sculpt with both words and feces, how will we ever overcome your staggering grip on reality?

May 31st, 2007 at 3:00 pmThere was another inside-theOval-Office story some days ago with an account of Bush talking about “tying up” or “tying down” or otherwise restraining his successor so we won’t be able to leave. The author of this story wondered whether the means might be an attack on Iran. Anybody remember that story?
May 31st, 2007 at 3:00 pmI think what Bush really said or meant to say was “I am the ANNOINTED ONE”

Wow. Talk about a subject that brings all the sycophants out, say something bad about their Dear Leader and all the little whores show up to defend him.
Bush is like the rich kid in high school, always surrounded by pimple faced losers who will gladly come to his defense hoping he will notice their loyalty. The trolls who post here are those sycophantic, syphilitic whores. Defending their hero, hoping that someday he will reward their loyalty.
Your reward is in heaven my liitle bitches.

May 31st, 2007 at 3:13 pmI’m wondering what he is going to feel like once he is no longer “the President” and no one gives two hoots what he thinks (using the term “think” with the broadest possible application). Perhaps he does not intend to leave office . . . a very scary thought. Assuming that we do follow the normal political process, they will have to pry his fingers loose from the Oval Office doors — and I volunteer to help.

May 31st, 2007 at 3:20 pm#72: It’s sad how you find loyalty and obediance treasonous and unpatriotic. It is patriotic to be loyal to your leaders. It is patriotic to obey your superiors even when then commands do not seem to make any sense.
Wasn’t me – ask Teddy Roosevelt – he thinks you are servile, morally treasonous and unpatriotic. Judging from his remarks and your comments your attitude is completely at home in Nazi Germany and completely anathema to a free society.
You sound a lot better in German and with a marching band playing…. links rechts, links rechts. Come on sing along with me, Adolph: ‘Die Wacht Am Rhein’

A side note MAF54, what you posited above, is exactly what lead the Germans down the Nazi path, and created the Holocaust. I will remind you as I have reminded others. Saying “I was just following orders” is not acceptable at a war crimes trial.
May 31st, 2007 at 3:22 pmTurtle: Yes. I know it was not you. I responded by saying “how quaint” by which I meant Teddy Roosevelt. That kind of thinking does not apply in the post-9/11 world anymore. In our existential struggle it is important to stand by our leaders and trust them.

…
Democracy has its moral basis in truth, tolerance, freedom, and respect for human dignity. These are all universal values. If we are loyal to these universal values, then we cannot at the same time be blindly loyal to one government or nation. We corrupted ourselves with our blind patriotism of the late 1940s to 1990s to the point where patriotism today most often means openly supporting the empire (under self-serving lies like “liberating Iraq”), the oppression of freedom worldwide, global economic exploitation and domination, and even the suppression of freedom at home.
Those honest people who believe in universal values should not attempt to redefine “patriotism” so that it looks as if holding universal values is what is “really” patriotic. We need to repudiate that term. Decent and honest people resist the empire out of universal moral values, out of justice, not out of patriotism. It is universal values like justice and compassion that make us human. Patriotism only divides us from our suffering brothers and sisters worldwide.

May 31st, 2007 at 3:23 pmMy own personal opinion, from the beginning, is that George has ALWAYS been retarded, but Mommy Bush, & Daddy Bush would NEVER let him know about that. SO, for all of his ridiculous life, He’s been sheltered from that very fact, by family, freinds, and cohorts., Always being Bailed out by Daddy’s friends, and Financial Backers, no matter How bad he screwed up. Cut to Now, & He’s taken all of his School freinds, from”Miss Pat’s Special school for retarded & Clueless little rich boys” and Placed them as Policy Commissars in all of the Government agencies. Add to that the Presidential Edict, just declared, the Plan to Completely run the the whole show, including law-making and Political supervision during a national emergency (Expect one soon!), and you see where its going, folks. Now, If it goes down the Tubes, and he gets hoisted on his own petard, Expect him to make his escape to Paraguay, where he sent the twins a few months ago to purchase a big peice of Property, there, during their recent little jaunt to RIO. BTW, Paraguay HAS NO EXTRADITION Treaty with the U.S.!

What’s your point Jake? Bush’s words are like your parent saying.. because..”I’m your mother (or father).” So what is the question that provoked that didactic and pointless comment by Bush. Definitely a losing position when you have to assert your role yourself. Yeah, not everyone should be parents.

Ah yes, the post-9-11 world. Sort of like the post-1918 world in Germany eh? We lost because we were ’stabbed in the back’ – therefore let’s weed out anyone who disagrees with us, votes against us or asks questions as to our motives – oh and let’s add a bit of Lebensraum to boot. ‘Trust our leaders’ – sorry Adolph, your mindset is more pre-1776 than post-9-11.

Back on topic, I think that a deranged lunatic running the whitehouse is a bad thing. They do unexpected, and often irresponsible things. If you think bush warrants your trust, then you are making him a cult figure. niether I nor anyone I know ever put as much trust, and blind loyalty in any political figure.

May 31st, 2007 at 3:36 pmAll I’m saying is that we have to follow the rule of law. Even if he is downright insane, we’re still obligated to support in him whatever he does. So even if he starts a nuclear war, we have to stick to the rules.
Can’t believe you all don’t get this.
May 31st, 2007 at 3:38 pmStrange that the post-9-11 world implies slavish obedience to the leadership as everyone was a subordinate soldier and the country was in fact a military dictatorship. And that anyone who disagrees is called a ‘traitorous scum’.
And these are the same people who say ‘Osama hates us for our freedoms‘. So buy throwing those freedoms away…… who is winning this so-called-war-on-terra.

Item 1) Anyone with half a brain can see that George is bored with the job of being a decider.
Item 2) He didn’t get to be the hero he wanted to be and/or to beat his father so he’s going to spoil it for the next president.
Item 3) Now, since the good old shrub doesn’t really run the big program, what do you think his… ahem, minders, will think of the coming improvisation? They already gave him a hint with the Iraq Study Group., but he chose to ignore it.
Oooh… don’t you just love it!? We are already playing 2009 and beyond. :)

Unless of course ’starts a nuclear war’ does not represent a moral choice… Joke, you are raving mad. Stick to rape, this stuff is too complex for you.

May 31st, 2007 at 4:04 pmThe founders created a limited executive because they refused to blindly support the president. It’s why we have checks and balances and not a monarchy. The constitution implores us not to trust the government, by separating the powers into 3 equal and independent branches.

It’s not the handful of peace and love verses that the religious right pretends that inspires him.
May 31st, 2007 at 4:04 pmWhat is most troubling about his past, current and future behavior, is that no one seems to do anything about it! What are they afraid of; jail, being sent to Iraq, not feeling needed, or just that their money scam will be ended and they will have to give back the medal or a library will not have there name on it.

Authoritarianism
Principle of unqualified submission to authority, as opposed to individual freedom of thought and action. As a political system, authoritarianism is antidemocratic in that political power is concentrated in a leader or small elite not constitutionally responsible to those governed. It differs from totalitarianism in that authoritarian governments usually lack a guiding ideology, tolerate some pluralism in social organization, lack the power to mobilize the whole population in pursuit of national goals, and exercise their power within relatively predictable limits.

May 31st, 2007 at 4:08 pmHe is the PRESIDENT but he is not the king. He’s dangerously out of touch with reality and his policies are killing American soldiers.

Agreed. And the Greek version can be traced back through Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism to be pacifistic “live and let live” types of positive, rather than negative, versions of the adages.

I lean more to a Robin Hood interpretation – he probably existed, but the stories written are more of a composite of a number of popular legends around the concept of a Jewish Messiah and could be sourced from a number of contemporary characters too. The rump interpretation of this legend as is solidified in the Council of Nicea’s blatantly political definition of Jesus… well you know where I’m going there.

Wrong again, little drunkard….”Florida’s election laws[5] allow a candidate to request a county to conduct a manual recount, and Gore requested manual recounts in four Florida counties: Volusia, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade. The four counties granted the request and began manual recounts. However, Florida law also required all counties to certify their election returns to the Florida Secretary of State within seven days of the election,[6] and several of the counties conducting manual recounts did not believe they could meet this deadline. On November 14, the statutory deadline, the Florida Circuit Court ruled that the 7-day deadline was mandatory, but that the counties could amend their returns at a later date. The court also ruled that the Secretary, after “considering all attendant facts and circumstances,” had discretion to include any late amended returns….”

Quite plausible. He probably wasn’t named Jesus though, as there is no historical record of a man of that name from the rather prolific contemporary writers of his time. They did speak of a Christ person, but called him this is in title format rather than using it as a first name, leaving speculation as to whether or not he was an urban legend or someone who actually existed.

You think so? I guess I think it is on topic. We’re talking about why Bush is such a manical little despot and I think his adoption of a Middle Eastern religion as his personal ideology sheds a lot of light on his authoritarian complex (thanks for the definition Zoo) when you bother to dissect it.
But, if you’d rather not discuss that aspect, I’m also up for discussing psychological disorders he might have, or just making fun of MegAn :D

You have some serious problems dude. I grew up in a small town in Arizona that was very Christian, one church held sway over the whole town.
Rapes and child molestation did take place and were covered up by the pious church members. They closed rank and protected their own.
Bush is raping our country. He took us into a war of his desire, not what is best for the USA, but for his own ego. The deaths of innocents and the squandering of our honor and billions is his doing.
Well, his and all his supporters and handlers. I daresay that you defenders have some blood on your hands and suffering on your conscience.
You believe in an afterlife and a reckoning, right? I think you may have some ’splaining to do if it is so.
May 31st, 2007 at 4:40 pmUn, I will look at the parts I like only, thank you very much. But those parts tend to be ones in common with eastern religions and philosophies.

Not saying that all Christians are Bush supporters, but all Bush supporters are Christian.
I would like to know how much of Bush’s decision to invade Iraq was due to his faith and how much was due to his desire to finally be someone. We will never know though, you sure can’t ask him why he invaded Iraq, he has no coherent answer.

It is really too bad Bush was able to go to the Supreme Court and have those appointed by his father, Bush senior, to have the count stopped in Florida so he could become president.
This is the beginning of the hell, the hell which will only worsen as long as Bush is left in office.
May 31st, 2007 at 4:58 pmunbelievable,
That was a little over the top. I was taking the extreme to prove a point. VV didn’t really do that with a Nativity scene, I don’t know anyone who would.
It’s frustrating to try to have a rational discussion with the rabid right, and sometimes it’s fun to just piss them off. Pretty childish, I know.
But you can’t have a discussion with a zealot who has made their mind up, and there is nothing that Bush could ever do to shake their faith. Like any good religious zealot, they refuse to consider that they may be wrong. That the Bible is not the word of God and should be read with a grain of salt and an eye to the fact that it was compiled thousands of years ago.
It is intellectual dishonesty to take the teachings of any religion and say that it is the one and only “right” god. And it is dishonest to defend Bush’s every action.
May 31st, 2007 at 4:58 pmWell, after you die you’ll find out that you’ll be spending a very painful eternity without God and in the company of the Satan.

The fact that you will not be able to prove it, anymore than you can prove the validity of invisible giraffes that go around biting people’s ears off for saying curse words… There is no proof of either one, so I reject them both, and all other such nonsense.

And, Valiant Venus, I hate to break it to you but it’s a fact that most of the people of Florida went to the polls intending to vote for Al Gore. It’s a fact that the Florida Supreme court ordered the entire state to recount. It’s a fact that if all the votes in Florida were counted, Gore would have won under any counting standard. And, it’s a fact that the Supreme Court halted the counting and appointed GW Bush president.
May 31st, 2007 at 5:07 pmActually, Clinton WENT AFTER THEM. And let’s not forget that he also warned Chimpy McFlightsuit about OBL, too.

May 31st, 2007 at 5:13 pmValiant Venus: “They will probably be as successful as Madeleine Albright in getting utterly fooled by the North Koreans. And who was any more friendly with the Chinese THAN President Clinton?”
Again, you continually surprise me by being even more uninformed and more absurd than I actually think you are. The Bush administration’s revised policy on dealing with Korea is almost identical to Clinton’s approach and George HW Bush was taking junkets with big businessmen to China long before Clinton ever took office. These days, Neil Bush is much more friendly with China than Clinton ever was. Furthermore, you must have been napping when it came out that this technology transfer thing was just another phony hoax perpetrated by conservatives trying to take Clinton down and prevent Gore from becoming president.

I think the peace and love Christians would agree. The problem is that they tolerate the fire and brimstone Christians instead of revoking their memmbership, and they seem to be more unified than they actually are.
I have deeply religious friends. They just focus on the peace and love stuff and ignore the rest too. It’s probably why they aren’t miserable hypocrites like our resident trolls. And one of theses friends routinely disses the “negative” Christians. She thinks that it’s her responsibility to her god…

You losing me as you seemed to suggest it was all just faith with no basis in worldly realities yet you seem to be suggesting that this Christianity deal is the only option which is valid. I can’t follow the logic. Also, although I have asked before, you still have not explained the use of a moniker which seems entirely unfitting for a “god-fearing” individual. Old school Mormonism may have codified pedaphilia but modern Mormons do not. Personally I find the MAF54 deal in bad taste and believe it is solely intended to provoke and annoy but I do not know. Maybe it is some Christian thing like WWJD

May 31st, 2007 at 5:46 pm“That was a little over the top. I was taking the extreme to prove a point. VV didn’t really do that with a Nativity scene, I don’t know anyone who would. ”
Oh, I thought I’d missed the news that day. Besides, if someone did – it wouldn’t stay like that for long. Some foaming-at-the-mouth zealot would destroy it.
“It’s frustrating to try to have a rational discussion with the rabid right, and sometimes it’s fun to just piss them off. Pretty childish, I know.”
Agreed… Well, I did call Jesus a douche bag… That puts us in similar company I suppose :)
“But you can’t have a discussion with a zealot who has made their mind up, and there is nothing that Bush could ever do to shake their faith. Like any good religious zealot, they refuse to consider that they may be wrong. That the Bible is not the word of God and should be read with a grain of salt and an eye to the fact that it was compiled thousands of years ago.”
I agree. My comments are not for them, they are for those who want to know that they are not alone in rejecting religion. CNN did a report on how Atheists are the most hated demographic in our country. I think it’s important to be vocal to support one another. In my real life, I’m less rabid about it, obviously, but I if someone says “God bless you” to me after I’ve done something nice, I politely tell them I don’t believe in a god. I want them to see that we aren’t evil, that we are real people without boils and warts covering our bodies, and that we are nice.

My Catholic friends disagree with you. They believe it’s about actions and not beliefs.
I really don’t care either way because the threat of something that isn’t real doesn’t motivate or compell me.
Alone you can never be that perfect creation God expects you to be, but with Christ taking away your sins, you can appear as one.

Of course you do remember that the Shah wanted nuclear power too and the United States was more than happy to help him…..

Who the hell is Bush to define “our country’s destiny”? Does anyone agree? Since when is occupying Iraq “our country’s destinyâ€? Spurious George is on his own trip, a megalomaniac who uses everything and everyone to fulfill his personal fantasies of becoming Galactic Overlord.
“The President in an extended whine, a rant, actually, about no one understands him, the critics are all messed up, if only people would see what he’s doing things would be OK…”
Since he does most things in secret, how are we supposed to understand the creature?

This failure to recall the specifics of our Christian heritage may be further evidence of our nation’s educational decline, but it probably doesn’t matter all that much in spiritual or political terms. Here is a statistic that does matter: Three quarters of Americans believe the Bible teaches that “God helps those who help themselves.†That is, three out of four Americans believe that this uber-American idea, a notion at the core of our current individualist politics and culture, which was in fact uttered by Ben Franklin, actually appears in Holy Scripture. The thing is, not only is Franklin’s wisdom not biblical; it’s counter-biblical. Few ideas could be further from the gospel message, with its radical summons to love of neighbor. On this essential matter, most Americans—most American Christians—are simply wrong, as if 75 percent of American scientists believed that Newton proved gravity causes apples to fly up. ”

Hi Zooey!
Beautiful!!! Wish I had thought about it that way!
May 31st, 2007 at 6:27 pmUn, that’s my point.
May 31st, 2007 at 6:29 pmThere is no logical argument for something that can’t be proven to exist.
You can’t prove or disprove the existence of a god.
So logic doesn’t play a part in it. It’s faith. Like your friends, as you say. Of course they too have no logical argument for a belief in the existence of God.

May 31st, 2007 at 6:29 pmunbelievable: “Boy that shows YOUR ignorance. Most of the Founding Fathers were Deists who found Christianity unacceptable.”
Aint that the truth.
Thomas Jefferson: “I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature.”
James Madison: “During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry, and persecution.”
John Adams: “As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation. But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed?”
And, believe me, you don’t want to know how Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin felt about it.

I bet he doesn’t even get it, because he’s never actually read Genesis to see that the bible claims incorrectly that the Earth was created in the same week as the rest of the universe, when, in fact, the Earth didn’t appear until several billion years after the Big Bang. And, the bible defines a day as an actual day – as in ’sun setting and sun rising equals one day’, so he can’t claim that a week actually meant eons…

May 31st, 2007 at 6:35 pmMy understanding is it was some 19th century preacher who came up with it.

May 31st, 2007 at 6:39 pmI think it was Commandment 11: Though shalt blow up all a-rabs
Comment by Wilco — May 31, 2007 @ 6:20 pm
LOL!
Though, it’s a little advertized fact that the bible has two different sets of commandments. The first set, which Moses destroyed in a temper tantrum, and then the second set which have to do with boiling a kid in it’s mother’s blood or some such etiqutte and cooking tips. I think Exodus 20 is one and 32 the other.
May 31st, 2007 at 6:40 pmBack at comment 37 this was said There’s no surprise here. GDumbya has acted like this during his whole presi-duncy, no doubt. The only difference is that news is being leaked out about it now from some of the 28-percenters who are having second thoughts about the moron . . . finally.
The described behavior is typical of an active alcoholic like GDumbya — feelings of persecution, resentments, ego and inability to deal with reality.
GDumbya’s just been getting deep into the Jack Daniels again. That’s all it is. Now move along — there’s nothing to see here.
Comment by Tom — May 31, 2007 @ 2:52 pm
Tom,
There is a condition called Dry Drunk Syndrome where the person is an alchoholic, but is not currently drinking, but still exhibits the pathological behavior of an alcoholic. IIRC It shows up more often in alcoholics that quit because of mystical religious experiences.
As to all those who want him gone. Please for the love of all that is Holy take Cheney out of the line of sucession, before you do it. GWB may be a psycopath, but Cheney is a sociopath and very possibly even more dangerous.
May 31st, 2007 at 6:42 pmBluedog – you’ll find most serious scientific thinkers and Enlightenment politicians come down on the side of being ‘functional atheists’ – referring to God, perhaps as a ‘divine watchmaker’ but not relying on God for anything other than the gift of rational thought. Except perhaps for Newton – he made Howard Hughes look rational.
Take old Einstein – people argue that he’s for God when he says ‘God doesn’t play dice with the Universe’. Not true, he’s merely giving argument to his position on the fundamental strangeness of quantum theory.
May 31st, 2007 at 6:42 pmHow about the fairy tale were Jesus is raised from the dead after being crucified?
May 31st, 2007 at 6:43 pmFlaco, “in the year of our lord” as a phrase was started many many years before the U.S. started up, as a way to differentiate between A.D. (anno domini, or the year of our lord) and B.C. (before christ). It was The Church that started it up, all of our European allies and business partners used it as well, so of course America followed suit. Or are you suggesting that if the founders were truly not avid Christians, they would have come up with some other way of numbering years. Maybe, P.D. (post Declaration).
May 31st, 2007 at 6:44 pmAnd I’m hitting myself because I know you will either not respond, call me an a–hat, an idiot, dumb, or whatever, because again, you never contribute anything of any substance, just vitriol.

You can’t prove or disprove the existence of a god.
I think you can demonstrate that the Christian god is impossible.
Victor Stenger does an excellent job in “God: The Failed Hypothesis”.
For me, the whole creation premise is enough. Not only is there an utter lack of intelligent design, but in order for Creation to be the premise, the creator whould have had to have been created by a more superior being ad infinitum, which violates the laws of nature.
So logic doesn’t play a part in it. It’s faith. Like your friends, as you say. Of course they too have no logical argument for a belief in the existence of God.
I think it’s all about logic. Call me a realist, but hey, I’ve been called worse :D

May 31st, 2007 at 6:46 pmFlaco, our nation is, by law, not a christian nation. The Treaty of Tripoli was signed in 1797, I believe, and was passed in the Senate by UNANIMOUS vote. The legislators included many of the men who signed the Consitution. Your sheep herders have been lying to you. You call us idiots and you admonish us for not knowing history. Well, there’s some history for you. The Treaty of Tripoli is still the law of the land.
I’m guessing they got to you at an early age and you didn’t have the will or the mental capability to see beyond your brainwashing. You were probably home schooled by religious fanatics who made sure you got a very skewed view of American history. You don’t seem to know thing one about the Founders of our country.

The god of Deism, which is different than the god of Christianity. Though they actually called their god “The Creator”. They didn’t use the word Lord.
The Deist god is believed to have set the universe in motion and them bowed out, allowing the natural laws to take over.

And, yes Flaco, the resurrection is a interesting story. What’s your point? Job’s is an interesting story too. And, I especially like the story about how the crowd wanted to rape two angels and Lott offered the crowd his daughters instead. One of my favorites.

May 31st, 2007 at 6:58 pmHe is most definately in over his head, but most madmen are. He keeps backing himself farther and farther into a corner and, I’m sorry to say, sooner or later HE WILL LASH OUT! I just hope that someone will be there to stop his madness, but I expect that outcome to be very doubtful since all he surrounds himself with is “Yes Men” and people who are even morally corrupt than himself.
Personaly, I believe that his people will engineer “an incident” so he can use the powers he granted himseld on May 7th. That little piece of Execuative Proclamation, if unchallenged will give him the power to take over the Government, declare Martial Law, call off the elections and dismiss congress.
So, when he starts thumping on his chest, we all need to be VERY, VERY AFRAID.
Un, he is right, it’s not a reference to some unnamed God. It’s Jesus. But it’s ok to admit that. Really.
May 31st, 2007 at 7:00 pmIt’s still meaningless. It’s not considered in synch with when Jesus was actually born. It’s believed off by a few years.
But it does reference Jesus.
Oh, and you can say that Flaco is arguing that non-christians must be hypocrites by using 2007 to date anything as well, given that it’s based on the alleged year of Jesus’s birth.
How about the fairy tale were Jesus is raised from the dead after being crucified?
Comment by Flaco — May 31, 2007 @ 6:43 pm
Here’s a task for you – go read the four Gospels that recount this event. They do not agree. And not just personal interpretation don’t agree, but factual don’t agree – such as when he arose, where he was seen, how he was seen and the process by which he ascended. If the word of god isn’t capableof getting a few facts straight, well, you see why it’s hard to accept it at infallable…
May 31st, 2007 at 7:02 pmFlaco, I do it every time I sign a check. Again, the year 2007 IS A.D., “in the year of our lord.”
May 31st, 2007 at 7:05 pmThe numerical year we deal with every day is based upon the alleged year of jesus’s birth and has been employed by vast numbers of people for many centuries now, whether they believe or not. Recently, people have started a pseudo-movement to change A.D. to C.E. (common era) and B.C. to B.C.E. (before common era), but that’s admittedly a bit ridiculous, as you’re still choosing the birth of Jesus as the fulcrum.
Who could possibly be surprised at this? It’s been clear for many years that Bush is a dangerous mental case. How else can one explain his unrestrained glee at executing prisoners while he was governor of Texas?

Atheists are the most hated demographic in our country.
True. But for the evangelists it is the Secular Humanists (of which I am one) that are REALLY hated. Just ask Dobson about his view. The reason, I suspect is that the Humanists are very well organized and extremely active against all they stand for, as opposed to athiests who are not so organized. (Their are many athiests in the Humanist movement.)
Secular Humanism strikes fear into the nutcases because it is “more believable” than athiesm which can be dismissed with a wave of their moldy hand as hell bent sinners.
I love your posts!

May 31st, 2007 at 7:28 pmI am baffled by what has happened in this thread.
The current corrupt president is acting so demented that even his FRIENDS are concerned enough to blab to the MSM!
In this thread, a lot of folks are blaming his insanity on his religion. Well, TerrytheTurtle got it right in # 166, when he said:
“Anyway, would like to go further but we’re off topic UNB … Meanwhile back at the bunker…”
The bunker is protected by the 28%ers, like virulent venus and her troll handmaidens. The current demented, corrupt president is suffering from his delusions that I think have nothing to do with religion, or the lack thereof. It seems to me that his problems are family related and drug related.
We are blessed. We can see through his delusions of grandeur and his inability to discern honesty and integrity from corruption and violence. His bunker, and his defending 28%ers, won’t be able to protect him from our discernment.
May 31st, 2007 at 7:30 pmThere has to be someone with enough courage to declare him mentally incompetent and take him away so that the world can be saved from his madness!!!!
May 31st, 2007 at 7:31 pmAs usual it all boils down to religion, oil, money & politics.
May 31st, 2007 at 7:38 pmWhen will USA get a real democracy. Democracy isnt two white billionaires fighting over who is going to be the president.
Corporate controlled Manchurian Candidate. The people who put him in power knew he was f@cked up, they apparently needed a man with no conscience to achieve their goals. Who in their right mind would continue this shit? He could be the best thing to happen to America in order to expose the nefarious plans and wake citizens up from their slumber. They picked a real loser.
You know I could run for governor but I’m basically a media creation. I’ve never done anything. I’ve worked for my dad. I worked in the oil business. But that’s not the kind of profile you have to have to get elected to public office.

Actually it is not amazing when you think about it. although your point is well taken.
These trolls live in dred fear of life and living, and long for the opportunity to proove that their flimsy belief system is right. It is constantly being questioned, especially by themselves. And the only way they can achieve that “peace of mind” is to attack and lower non believers to a lower place in Hell than they know they are going to reside for all eternity.
Guess the trolls have no where else to turn except their blind faith in something beyond their control, ergo, taking no responsibility for their lives.
And here (in bold) you nail it! This is the bottom line of their philosophy! “I’ve turned my life over to jesus!” they happily insist. “I Don’t worry about anything because my life is in jesus’ hands” Bla, bla, bla. “When the rapture comes I’m going to sit at the right hand”…bla, bla. When I confront these christians, it always comes down to not accepting personal responsibility. And boy, do the decibles rise, when they try to get out of that predicament!
Trouble is, that they live in an upside down world! They think that up is up when it is really down…and all that that implies.

This is “PLAN A” folks, spoken from our dear leaders lips! Do you need more proof? THEIR IS NO PLAN B! Its called Empire! Rice said it this way: Plan B is to make Plan A work.
It is more than only oil. The ends justifies the means. Don’t be confused. Oil is part of the “means” it is not the “end” as so many posters here believe. It is not Iraq, democracy or ridding the world of Sadaam. These are part of the “means”. The end is control of the whole “Arc of Instability” as they call it. The Middle East. With that control, the neocons will have a strangle hold on the greatest source of the worlds energy. And realize that they are already in control of the worlds most powerful arsenal to back up their hold on that energy resource. And after that, bring the world to its knees due to their need for the energy the neocons control.
Think about what this will mean to the developing nations and their growth out of third world status. What it will mean to India or to anyone that does not have the energy they need. Bow and scrape, world! The dream of the neocon cabal.
World domination by controlling the world’s energy supply. This is the basis of PLAN A folks.

“I am so thankful Ron Paul will be our next president.”
You’ve self-named yourself – “Delusion!”
Blind hogs can sometimes root out an acorn.
Rep. Ron Paul is WRONG in all the places where Rep. Dennis Kucinich has been visionary!
And, Kucinich does not have to cede ANYTHING to Paul, when it comes to opposition to the invasion, endless occupation, and destruction of Iraq.

what the??? – no one understands him because he can’t speak english and we can see what he is doing and it is ver f**king far from ok

May 31st, 2007 at 8:19 pmI’m hearing rumors here in Cleveland.
It is starting to feel like teasing or making fun of someone wiith Downs Syndrome. Bush is a poor pitiful soul, steeping in his own maddening juices. Even his Texas friends appear shocked. I’d be interested at what he read or heard that set his chest thumping off. Was it his poll numbers, the % of citizens that want us out of Iraq or that he won’t be allowed to invade Iran. Was it the likelyhood that Fredo, Wolfy, rummy, turd blossum, darkvaderchenny, etc will go down in history as a cabal of evil doers. Poor guy is losin it. Reality hurts.

1. The patriot act is the law and was essentially written by the neocon cabal in power right now. So you say that you must follow the “fox in the henhouse” when he creates the laws? You believe this is democracy?
2. Are you so scared. that you really believe that “So even if he starts a nuclear war, we have to stick to the rules.”? WTF?

May 31st, 2007 at 8:47 pmTrue. But for the evangelists it is the Secular Humanists (of which I am one) that are REALLY hated.
I think the Average Joe considers us one in the same. I’ve been called a Humanist, as an insult even though I only refered to myself as an Atheist. I don’t consider myself a pure Humanist by definition, because I think all other living beings are equal to humans and just as valid. However, in general, we do generally have the same peace and love mindset which just freaks out these crazy zealots. :D
Just ask Dobson about his view.
Must I? Ugh… :D
The reason, I suspect is that the Humanists are very well organized and extremely active against all they stand for, as opposed to athiests who are not so organized. (Their are many athiests in the Humanist movement.)
That’s logical. You guys are more organized than we are – but I think we are learning from you, since you’re right that many of each group is both.
I read an interesting book ‘Natural Atheism’, in which the author explained why our movements are the most threatening to the zealots. He said it’s because only one of us can be right, and in proving our rightness, they lose their cult following. That unlike blacks or gays who aren’t out to convert them, that non-believers sort of are by default – which is the bigger threat. I thought that was interesting.
Secular Humanism strikes fear into the nutcases because it is “more believable†than athiesm which can be dismissed with a wave of their moldy hand as hell bent sinners.
Valid point. Though I do think the ‘believability’ of Atheism is partly due to the bad connotation of the word itself, and the fact that it’s hard to explain our views to people who refuse to think :D.

It is starting to feel like teasing or making fun of someone wiith Downs Syndrome. Bush is a poor pitiful soul, steeping in his own maddening juices.
Were he not responsible for the deaths and wounding of hundreds of thousands, I would feel the same way. Mental illness is nothing to make fun of. He needs to be shown for the monster he is in any way possible. And yes, I will sink that low to do just that.
I’d be interested at what he read or heard that set his chest thumping off.
Mee too! Probably just a neocon ritual though. They start all their meetings with it.
Poor guy is losin it. Reality hurts.
He never had it to lose. Look into his history.
Sorry, we part company on this “Poor guy” part. I can’t get the visuals of men coming back in caskets and damaged bodies, out of my head. Not to mention the horror BushCo has rained down on the Iraqi people. I mean that litterally as well as figuratively. Our air war in never spoken about except on blogs like TomDispatch.com. (I highly recommend you pay Tom Englehardt a visit @ TomDispatch.com.)
“Poor guy”??? A mass murderer does not get my empathy. “Reality hurts“. Yes it does, but the hurt does not include him. He is devoid of feelings. He is a dry drunk, megalomanic, clinging on to jesus for salvation. For his sake, there better not be a god waiting for him when he dies. He would be a “big fish” for Satan!
Of course, if you wrote that post as snark… But I took you seriously just in case. That way I get to say my rant with some justification.

My feelings exactly. I would really love to see the true meaning of insanity displayed in full battle gear. (Education has its price, unfortunately, but maybe you can sneak in to the freak show.)
What is remarkable about this time we are living in, is how the crazys are so blatently open about their insanity and how openly candid they are with their justifications regarding it. They are really “out of the closet” as it were, naked as a jaybird and enjoying their new clothes! Just a few years ago you had to look under rocks to find them. Only the young Mormons and a few others (Hari Krishnas come to mind) were visable. Now it seems like the sorcerers apprentice is on the loose, and they keep multiplying like cockroaches.

Actually, I believe that Humanists share your love of all living things and beings. I do. That said, the choice I make, is to put an emphasis (not a primacy) on human existence, before (not over) other species. Sadly that is a choice we are faced with making every day. (Your house is burning. You can only save one. Do you save the dog or your child?) We are still animals, with all their instinctual drives, and strive to reproduce and safeguard our own. This is natural in my view.

Thanks, I’ll check into this one.

I am not aware that Humanists try to “convert” anyone. If anything Humanists try to prevent the crazies from spreading their beliefs via the public sector and the government. About athiests, I’m not sure. I wouldn’t think athiests try and convert. Rather, all I hear is defense, in the form of agressiveness against the attacks from the crazys. Maybe I’m wrong in this reading. You tell me, do you evangelize atheism?
I do think the ‘believability’ of Atheism is partly due to the bad connotation of the word itself, and the fact that it’s hard to explain our views to people who refuse to think :D.
Yes, as Lakof points out, the “framing” of issues is very important. That is why we all need to stop using the neocon frames. Like “war” and “liberal.” I am a progressive who does not believe in this invasion and occupation of Iraq. I will only use “war” when its called “Bush’s War.” (Note the quotes)

May 31st, 2007 at 10:20 pmOf course, Bush is crazier than a lord. And a drunk. And a psychopath.
However, next in line to the White House is Dick Cheney. Not so obviously nutty, and no doubt smarter, but if anything even more evil.
Look, the oil companies, and the Israelis, want us in Iraq. “Withdrawal” in the context of “facts on the ground” doesn’t mean bringing all our surviving troops home and leaving Iraq to Iraqis. It means controlling the oil reserves, and having our launch pad for mroe wars of aggression on behalf of our petro-Zionist coalition overlords, by retreating the large, permanent bases.
Democrats will not leave Iraq to the Iraqis, because neither the oil companies, nor the Israel lobby, will let them.
Were they to try, they would be removed from office by any means necessary. As was John F. Kennedy.

Fuunny you might mention that – there is a term ‘yellow dog Democrat’ where the Democrat would elect a yellow dog before they would vote Republican. This term I think applies to the Old South (you know before Civil Rights where it was mostly Democrat by day, pillow cases on heads at night). I’ve no clue whether there is a term for this today.
In the beautiful game, there is a class of suppoer known as the ‘Anyone but Man U’ supporter.
May 31st, 2007 at 10:39 pmThe sad thing is that people, not just in the US, believe that Presidents run countries, furthermore, they think that politicians run their countries. It is a lie. Corporations run countries. It happens that war companies run the US, therefore US needs to sell weapons, support warlords, produce genocides, invade countries, bomb civilians. Germany companies are Siemens, Volkswagen, Phillips and Osram (guess who promotes energy savings by changing light bulbs?…yes, Merkel), etc, etc, etc.
Im not a visionary, but I live in Latinamerica. Here governments are so transparent about their doings, that it is almost laughable. You, developed countries, have less corrupt governments so, the shroud is thicker, I guess.
May 31st, 2007 at 10:46 pmTerry, why Man U is so despised? I would guess that Liverpool must be, in anycase, due to all the victories and stuff. Man U began, well, Im guessing here, Im not saying they are a small team, but not in the Liv league…or are they?
May 31st, 2007 at 10:48 pmMan U – richest team in the league, always thinkjs it should be winning everything. Draws fans from all over at the expense of the local sides. In other words it’s easy to be a Man U fan, it’s the cowardly choice for a team. Its great to see them get beaten – most of the time.

Agreed. No surprise. With the Democratic Party in the hands of the DLC who backed, and an official signed, the PNAC report there was only one voice. Fortunately that has begun to seriously change.
And, Juan, stop reminding me of California’s blindness in choosing leaders ;-). RayGun was enough shame for the rest of my life. And don’t even remind me about the John Birch Society (remember those sweeties?) whose home base was in Orange County just south of LA. Sigh…LA is the hotbed of fantasy production. Where else could Swartzenegger (another “fantastic actor” whose claim to fame was a B grade flick, in my view, “Terminator.”) fool so many people? And now Thompson!? I guess it just proves that actors are the best choice for Rethug puppets. They dance so well on strings. Even the Terminator dances to Maria’s hand.

Thank God for the way the internet has evolved other the last few years and the much-needed communication that is helping to fill in the gaps! There is so much information to scour over only because we all are truly living and breathing the so-called ‘end-times’ scenario and a completion of a 13,000 year cycle ending in Winter Solstice 2012. People, just know that we certainly are not doing this by ourselves and by ‘doing’ i mean running this planet, our lives, etc. I mean, look at this water planet! and the condition we are leaving it! We just need to collectively change the behavior and manifest the appropriate ‘new’ technologies that will help us live and be more harmonious with our water planet, each other and all Life. No fundamentalist religion will provide this unless they do. We just need to speak the Truth and then Live It! How simple is that? fubush & prick (and their crony little friends and their primitive little M.I.C. schemes) represent the last horror movie to be made (in our name!) on planet Earth and, like it or not, we are all playing a role in the ‘dramatic’ final scenes before the part where we all live happily ever after… Let’s keep the humor (light & dark) running full steam…that energy will help see us through this time.

Well that was a pile of dross, F***o.
1) The Gospels do not agree about the Crucifixion, neither the politically correct 4 or the other 3 or 4 which have shown up later and were dropped because they poured doubt on the Sky Fairy stuff.
2) “your ignorance in this field of study. You still believe in “monkey to man evolution†– once again I get to say “oh the irony”
3) Science is not a matter of belief. Sky fairies? Yes that’s about belief, what else can it be about?
“monkey to man evolution†– this is fascinating in it’s powers of self-indictment…. I’m speechless
May 31st, 2007 at 11:28 pmFlaco, I do it every time I sign a check. Again, the year 2007 IS A.D., “in the year of our lord.â€
The numerical year we deal with every day is based upon the alleged year of jesus’s birth and has been employed by vast numbers of people for many centuries now…

So we base our calender on a myth, legend, fairy tale Jebsus.
That’s unbelievable history.
unbelievable that we would divide human history based on a fictional Jesus character that never existed.

May 31st, 2007 at 11:42 pmI believe in the BIBLE… especially the part where the christ guy dies and goes to heaven, then the tom guy buys the beans and grows the plant, climbs up there and gets the goose with the golden eggs, and when the christ guy comes back they pass out the eggs.
NEW RELIGON… chosen people will, going forward, adhere to the OLD BOOK (9 part story of star wars),
Potterites will also follow the NEW BOOK (7 part story of Harry The Potter),
One group of us “later day types” will also adopt the teachings of GALAXY QUEST.

Pssst, Flaco, This is exactly what the problem is! This is really struggling to be a post, you know. Weak, weak, weak. tsk, tsk. You have to better than this awful try. But, not to worry, we’ll give you another chance to improve before we tell. But next time, VV gets the message!
May 31st, 2007 at 11:53 pmActually, I believe that Humanists share your love of all living things and beings. I do. That said, the choice I make, is to put an emphasis (not a primacy) on human existence, before (not over) other species.
The official definitions, for what they are worth, seemed to be more human-centric than I am, but I suppose semantics can be argued about pretty much any word… :D
Sadly that is a choice we are faced with making every day. (Your house is burning. You can only save one. Do you save the dog or your child?)
I hate that question. I have no children, or a dog, but I can empathize with my niece or my cats. That would be a nigtmare…
We are still animals, with all their instinctual drives, and strive to reproduce and safeguard our own. This is natural in my view.
Comment by Merlin — May 31, 2007 @ 9:58 pm
Oh, absolutely! I completely agree.
I am not aware that Humanists try to “convert†anyone.
Not intentionally, you’re right, but it is sort of a by-product of free thought. I mean, do you talk about your ideology openly, or just with others who are admitted Secularists Humanists, or something else?
If anything Humanists try to prevent the crazies from spreading their beliefs via the public sector and the government.
And the crazies consider us oppressing them… Funny huh?
About athiests, I’m not sure. I wouldn’t think athiests try and convert. Rather, all I hear is defense, in the form of agressiveness against the attacks from the crazys. Maybe I’m wrong in this reading. You tell me, do you evangelize atheism?
I guess like anything, it depends on the Atheist. But most of us are more about critical thinking skills and the result of thinking is pretty much a rejecting of organized religions… So, by default, when I teach Science or expose Bible truth, it is an argument for Atheism. But to actually try to convert anyone? Only if they want to be converted – and then, well, it’s just more about presenting the arguement for it and letting them decide. In here, I’m more inclined to humble the zealots because they are obnoxious (as you know :).
“Yes, as Lakof points out, the “framing†of issues is very important. That is why we all need to stop using the neocon frames. Like “war†and “liberal.†I am a progressive who does not believe in this invasion and occupation of Iraq. I will only use “war†when its called “Bush’s War.†(Note the quotes)”
Funny, I just started reading that book…
It’s helped me to understand the batshit insane conservatives who run my school system. Doesn’t make me like them any better, but it makes it easier to figure out why they are so freaking patriarchal and paranoid.
Good thought – I was calling it an occupation for a while, and admit war is easier to type in a hurry. Thanks – I’ll go back to using it.
Seconded

June 1st, 2007 at 12:06 amI doubt very seriously you have proven anything about the Gospels except your ignorance in this field of study.
I see you went and looked them up or you didn’t and are just pretending. Either way, I can prove I know what I’m talking about by posting them… I just think the post would be too long.
So, if you didn’t – go look it up – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You don’t have to take my word for it. Just read the bible.
You still believe in “monkey to man evolution†where the fossils record is absent of such transitions.
No I don’t. I accept the facts of mammals to apes – monkeys aren’t a direct part of our ancestory. Though, they might be a part of your present family tree…
But feebly cling to it for it is all you have…

Comment by TerrytheTurtle
Terry, WTF? Flaco didnt evolved from a monkey once the sea currents that crossed the Atlantic were shut becuz the formation of the Channel of Panama, and the huge wooden and jungle regions in Africa dried up to the savannah and a species of apes was forced to hunt their prey with no trees around, therefore having to stand up in order to see farther and use their hands to kill it. No, there is no scientific evidence of that. Instead there is plenty of proof that he comes from a muddy mix of clay and water that God made. There is all documented in a book written by scientists some 1700 years ago. Dont you know?
June 1st, 2007 at 12:21 amPeople. This definite proof thatr he is in the Nixon zone.
Although I don’t think Nixon ever actually said “I am the president”, critics and commedians of the time made repetition of the phrase a key theme in the narrtive of Nixon obsessions with his own powerless self. Nixon also walked drunk around the WH near the end, wining to portraits of Dead Presidents.
Nixon needed professional help then and in the year prior and Bush, now thru his Texas friends who are America loyalists rather than total Bush loyalists are, telling us that Bush is not stable and we should do something about it. This add to evidence of Cheney’s own global sociopathy and his oen eligibility to be put on leave.
To The Bush Cabinet: Now is the time to exercise their constitutional duty by notifying the Congress that Bush is Constitutionally disabled to the point that he cannot exercise the Office of the Presidency (and Cheney too) and that they both should be placded on constitutitonal LEAVE until the Cabinet withdraws the letter.
Thom Prentice
Austin
Presumably the Cabinet would, in so doing, Make Speaker Pelosi the “Acting President”.
This duty would be precedential, but it is the Patriotic Duty of the Cabinet to proceed with their power from the Constitutional Amendment passed following the JFK assassination.

June 1st, 2007 at 1:17 amNo, they are not doing what is best for the nation. According to the sixteen intelligence agencies of the USA, this illegal invasion and occupation have made us less secure. It opened up Iraq to the fundamentalist Islamists. They had been strongly suppressed by Saddam. It is a tremendous recruiting tool and training ground for them. It has cost nearly a million lives and will cost our taxpayers about $4.3 Trillion all totalled.

June 1st, 2007 at 3:49 amThe US has 737 bases throughout the world it has the worlds biggest arsenal which includes nuclear weapons. It has taken part in countless wars directly and indirectly to gain world power. It now is ringing Russia with rockets and war making alliances enough to get the Russians talking of an arms race. All this did not happen during the present clown Bush’s tenure it has happened over generations. Apart from Vietnam I don’t recall much US disention about this in the past. It’s only because now the US is exposed to a kind of ’shock and awe’ that they can’t handle. So ye sow so ye shall reap. Just say the US attacks Iran. It would be a veery good moment for the Chinese to take back Taiwan at the same time. Now how would all those war strategists deal with that? There is a way to stop this madness and that is simply allow Russian atomic weapons on US soil and likewise US weapons on Russian soil. THAT would be a very good deterent indeed.

You opined:
This is unsubstantiated garbage and I don’t even support the president. If people start believing anything that has no good references then they will believe anything.
Are you familiar with body language, tone of voice etc. and how they tell a psychological story about the person? And that very often it is not “substantiated.”
Have you listened and watched Bush’s speeches over the last 6 years? It is really remarkable how much information is revealed if you just pay attention. Most of it unsubstantiated.
You added:
I know people are upset with the president but this goes too far.
To say simply that “people are upset with the president” shows me that you are not in touch with the reality on the ground in the Middle East. Look at this brief “cost” summary.
*The devistation of the Iraqi society and the country.
*The hundreds of thousands dead Iraqi people.
*The untold thousands of Iraqi people wounded.
*The hundreds of thousands of Iraqis that have fled to Syria alone, not to mention other countries.
*The 3400+ American troops killed.
*The many thousands of wounded American soldiers with inadequate care when they come home.
*As yet an unknown number of soldiers suffering from PTSD, but the number is estimated to be huge.
And you say “people are upset with the president”???
People are screaming angry at the president, and this corrupt and evil administration! And well they should be, because of all the carnage this “president” has brought about with lies and deception.
Do you think this is all “just politics?” Just pettiness the Democrats are exhibiting? A little upsetness with the president? Well, your post makes me believe:
You are either a person who is:
1. Seriously out of touch with what is going on.
2. Aware of it all and are emotionally dead inside.
3. A neocon troll trying to act like you are not.

June 1st, 2007 at 7:24 amHis criminal element (his dad’s buddies) in the executive branch are building the bases in Iraq for long-term occupation, at least until the oil runs out. They are stealing a 1/4 of a $Billion$ in oil EVERYDAY

June 1st, 2007 at 8:23 amDemocratic Presidents have been crazy too.
What difference does that make?
Hmmmm… maybe the mother f-er will get a brain aneurism and croke! I’ll keep praying..
June 1st, 2007 at 8:40 amThe moment Dubya attacked and occupied Iraq was the moment he made it virtually impossible for the U.S. to withdraw because he invalidated our diplomatic agreements and covert understandings to keep the oil flowing. And he made the U.S. so unpopular he made it difficult for the NATO nations to support us by taking over Iraq peacekeeping to clean up our mess. And you can bet every congressman has been given the picture in their mind of China, for instance, volunteering to step in and normalize Iraq. No, that oil is _ours_ and I suspect most congressmen know it however much they mouth their dissatisfaction with the war when called upon to do so.
So my question is what _else_ Dubya thinks he has to do to insure we stay in Iraq forever. Domestic, foreign. Terrorism, nukes. There are so many possibilities I can hardly wait for Dubya’s _next_ surprise. 599 days. If anyone still thinks this isn’t the most disastrous president in history, Dubya still has plenty of time to put the icing on the cake.
June 1st, 2007 at 8:42 am“Now why would anyone switch from the sweet opiates to vile meth?”
Bush’s reported drug of choice during his misspent youth into dissipated middle age was cocaine. Until he found “God” at age 40 he was a Speed Freak, a Tweaker. He prefers cocaine of the sweet opiates because his underlying personality has an affinity with the speedy drugs. We all would have been better of with Doug Ginsburg on the Courtt.
“How else can you expect obedience from your subordinates?”
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Oh, wait, there goes that quaint “pre-9/11″ thinking again!

I am so sorry for all the death, destruction and looting caused by this bush crime family. I am so ashamed of what has gone on under this occupation of our government. Words can not express my outrage. Every opportunity that has risen to make an honest and meaningful contribution to mankind has been seen as a chance for him and his cronies to make a profit. Most of these profits where made on the backs of victims of a tragedy. This must be one of the darkest points in the history of this country. 2009 can not arrive soon enough. For the sake of all mankind we must never fall asleep and let this happen again.
June 1st, 2007 at 10:23 amKeep the pressure on, and Bush will eventually rant in public. Everyone is jumping ship, and with no one there to coddle him, he won’t know what to do.
June 1st, 2007 at 10:29 amUsually when a chimp gets upset they throw their feces around. I’m glad to hear nothing about that behavior

He lied. He supports Bush.
June 1st, 2007 at 11:04 amThis is the guy who requires, and gets, people to follow his demands. Even when the facts are undeniable, some people STILL SPIN/APOLOGIZE FOR HIM (e.g. first comment). Need I mention the importance of this given his postition in the world, as well as his unprecedented demands?
June 1st, 2007 at 11:42 amUh Jake, LBJ could be crude, but he made way more sense than this guy. Even when disagreeing with him, I could understand far better his intentions.
June 1st, 2007 at 11:47 amWith due respect, please withold the “normalizing” pseudosocial science (some of you people wouldn’t know reality or a sense of magnitude if it bit you) crap please, bs and Jane Goodall! Thank you.
June 1st, 2007 at 11:51 amgw thinks he is in control….but i think that dick cheny is the REAL brains behind all this crap.
June 1st, 2007 at 11:54 amnancy pelosi ,and the dems WILL NEVER start impeachment preceedings against gw and cheny,because there is a fifth element (AIPAC) blackmailing congress and buying off the ones that can’t be blackmailed.check out how the msm even shuts up about gw’s high crimes.
i’m tired of politicians talking about what this great country needs when they run for office,and then ignoring the citizens after they get into office.impeach them ALL!we need a third party that actually has some conjones that will tell AIPAC to F*** off and for Isreal to defend theirself and to quit sucking off America like some drunk queer in a park restroom!
BottomBoy (doesn’t sound appealing at all) : passionate? This is passion?What a tragedy people with apparent viewpoints as yours have been listened to while so many suffered, were abused, lost their life.
June 1st, 2007 at 11:55 amIt is time for the Congress to grow some balls and take over–my Goodness, why do they think they replaced all the Bush lap dogs?
June 1st, 2007 at 12:08 pmwas he speaking in tongues?
June 1st, 2007 at 12:08 pmTurtle: Yes. I know it was not you. I responded by saying “how quaint†by which I meant Teddy Roosevelt. That kind of thinking does not apply in the post-9/11 world anymore. In our existential struggle it is important to stand by our leaders and trust them.

Post 9/11?? You really like being a victim, don’t you?
June 1st, 2007 at 12:15 pmbush is a unique case in american history.
he was supremely unequipped to handle the office of the presidency.
but it served some sort of demented perversion of the right that your character or intelligence (or soul) mattered nothing in politics (or business).
all that mattered was power. the boss’s son gets to do what ever he pleases – no matter what. an intoxication with power propelled him to our nation’s highest office. in essence, it was the “american way.”
but now the entire world sees how power perpetuates itself. the truth of the lie has been revealed. the sad part of it is the million dead and the trillion spent in a morality tale for all-time. it could be called “shakespearean” were the costs not so great – it has become “biblical.” all the world watches a morality tale for all time. sadly, the cover fee for this drama may come at the cost of what once was “america.”
sa
p.s. lies are the foundation of hell.
June 1st, 2007 at 12:17 pmI think we need to pray for our President. I would not want to have the responsibilities that he has. Just pray for him instead of cursing him. Does no good to make fun of him, because the people elected him so when you point a finger at him and call him stupid names that finger is pointing back at you. Just ask God to give him guidance.
June 1st, 2007 at 12:18 pmWell, Hitler did a merry jig. Hitler had quite a bit more sophistication and class than this rube..I seriously doubt Hitler would have winked at the Queen, then done the surreptitious El Diablo sign.
This one is more like , was it Caligula? Was he the Roman Emperor who made his horse president of the Senate? This one is capable of stuff like that, just give him time and more Democratic party victories… lol
June 1st, 2007 at 12:20 pmWell,
That is the first thing that GW has gotten right in a long time. >> He is “The President”, even if only in title as it would seem that “Dead-Eye Dick” Cheney has taken the role of quarterback and GW has once again been reduced to a role he is more experienced and comfortable with as cheerleader.
June 1st, 2007 at 12:22 pmClick on the link below and read this alarming article about Bush’s latest covert attack on our constitution.
Don’t We Have a Constitution, Not a King?
http://www.alternet.org/story/52801
Bush has issued a directive that would place all governmental powers in his hands in the case of a catastrophic emergency. If a terrorist attack happens before the 2008 election, could Bush and Cheney use this to avoid relinquishing power to a successor administration?
June 1st, 2007 at 12:22 pmJust like Hitler in the bunker or Marie Antoinette at Versialle or Saddam at the Baghdad Airport, WMD know he is going to be brought to justice!
June 1st, 2007 at 12:27 pmNope, and after reading Bush’s idea of occupying Iraq as we did in Korea (Not to insult but…)Hell no, no one could logically agree with that Jeff.
Bush believes the South Korean model of occupation should be aplied to Iraq. So if he believes we should usher in the “New American Century” by staying in Iraq for half a century… how is it unbelievable he would openly state the need for a successor to “complete the destiny” Bush admittedly believes he was ordained by god to invade Iraq… I doubt this report is “far-fetched” or grossly exaggerated.
Remember, the toned down language you see Bush ramble about in nitpicked press releases and staged photo-ops is probably much more toned down than what actually happens in company of his cronies.
June 1st, 2007 at 12:28 pmWhew! What a stinking thread!
Smirky McChimp is well on his way to establishing his country’s destiny in Iraq. There’s the huge embassy being built, as well as at least four permenant bases. He said just the other day that he saw us being in Iraq as long as we have been in Korea..50 years! You know, like Japan , like Germany, the UK, France, Phillipines…our empire is everywhere, so what? This is news?!
As for all this atheism vs religion bullshit, what a crock. The true powers that be don’t really believe the stuff of their religions, they are only counting on YOU to beLIEve.
Have you seen “Apocalypto”? Did you think those Mayan rulers didn’t know the eclipse was coming? Human leaders have been using relgion to get the masses to play their games since the dawn of man! Thus it will ever be, until mankind stops teaching fairy tales as fact.
You guys keep it up…you’re getting nowhere. Yep, a general strike might help, but who is going to organize THAT? The churches? The atheists? Look, when the rednecks take up arms and head for DC, hippies like me will follow…but I ain’t holding my breath for that, either. Folks like me and y’all need to get of this web AND INTO THE STREETS now…or the next false flag will have us all living under a perpetual “Decidership”!
June 1st, 2007 at 12:40 pmNot to worry folks. You don’t think that Bush is really going to give up his presidency do you? Wait for the next “terrorist” attack and then wait for martial law to be declared. This president is never leaving office willingly. Insane people don’t do things like that.
June 1st, 2007 at 12:49 pmINSANE! DELUSIONAL! A DRUNK! SELF CENTERED! CRAZY AS A LOON! Yes all the above apply to DUMBYA. As part of my 24 year Military career, I served 19 on Submarines. The order to fire the Nuclear missle comes from the oval office. That part of DUMBYA being in the oval office, Scares me for the safety of the American people. Somehow, Someway, He has to be removed from office, and as quickly as possible!
God help us and the rest of the world.
Democracy cannot be destroyed without, Unless it is destroyed within first.
June 1st, 2007 at 12:51 pmBlind faith and blind loyalty are fairy tales!
You see, as a veteran I know that while on active duty if a superior orders me to do something illegal then *I* am legally held accountable if I perform the illegal act.
The action in Iraq is illegal and every service person should reread the Military Code of Justice, consult an attorney and get the hell out of Iraq.
However, under the Patriot act, I may become under the category of “disappeared” after my words are read by the current fascist regime in the White House.
I wonder what the weather is like in some non-usa country where they store and torture Americans like me. I hope they remember that I am a 100% disabled AMERICAN veteran! Gee, I hope they don’t undo THAT designation just because I am expressing myself here. I could become just another homeless veteran in America.
In any case, personal risk aside, America needs MORE people demanding we get off the oil addiction and out of the war business.
PS: I’m sending a copy of this message to the ACLU, Veterans For Peace etc. and ALL my children, grandchildren and friends. UH, just in case I “disappear” from America.
June 1st, 2007 at 1:08 pm# 120, from Jake: All I’m saying is that we have to follow the rule of law. Even if he is downright insane, we’re still obligated to support in him whatever he does. So even if he starts a nuclear war, we have to stick to the rules.
Not only are you on crack, you are the personification of What The Heck Is Wrong With People. No, WE are NOT ‘obligated to support him’ or anyone else. HE works for US, bub. Not the other way around. George Bush is NOT entitled to my support: I AM entitled to his, as a citizen of this country and his employer. I owe him nothing. He owes me everything.
And if he was MY employee in a traditional sense, Id’a fired his ignorant carcass when he rewarded the Taliban’s destruction of the Giant Buddhas by giving them 45 some-odd million of US taxpayer money under the guise of the ‘war on drugs.’
Six months later: 9-11. OH IT’S JUST A COINCIDENCE DON’T BE A CONSPIRACY NUT!
Blind servitude and unquestioning fealty are NEVER, EVER an obligation of a free, thinking, human being. I am NEVER obligated to subjugate myself to any person, whether they be regent, police, or president. I might be obligated to not fight back when I’m being arrested; I’m NOT obligated to pretend I agree with the law or respect the king/officer/president, when I don’t. Can I be reasonably civil? Sure. But that doesn’t mean I have to open my mouth and smile while the military-industrial phallus is being shoved down my throat.
My debt – and yours, and all of ours here in the US – is to *this country*; the principles upon which it was founded (and up to which it has never once lived, though slow progress is always being made) of personal freedom, personal responsibility, and government accountability are the things to which I am obligated. I am no more obligated to ’support’ GWB, or Bill Clinton, or John Kerry, or Ross Perot, or anyone else, than I am to worship at the church you tell me to or read the books you tell me to.
I am obligated to freedom, democracy, personal responsibility, government accountability….in short, the American Way. I find, on examining the facts available, that I *can not* logically support both my country and the administration of the current president; support for one is diametric opposition to the other.
A few folks might want to take their empty faces out of the friggin FokSnooze propaganda feed and try re-engaging your brains once in a while. Seriously, it seems like the more likely you are to vote republican, the less likely you are to be able to pass a sixth-grade civics course. We The People have dropped the ball, and we are being rewarded for that with the leaders we have earned.
June 1st, 2007 at 1:08 pmBush is not what we wish he was dumb, incompetent or stupid, but he is Our President.
June 1st, 2007 at 1:14 pmLook back to everything he has done, started & been thwarted at. The Iraq War is just a small piece of his origin ional agenda/plan for America. The records do show he knew about 9/11 beforehand, intentionally allowed it; fit the key to get the plan moving. Appointed to every agency, commission, etc those who were capable of doing what the plan needed.
It is criminal that over 3000 soldiers are dead & 24000 injured, but he also caused 100000 deaths from a drug that his FDA head would not review until billions were made. Set up EPA standards that are wrecking our environment & futures, air, water, foods, etc. Trade agreements that rip employment out of the economy to bolster foreign governments. Pays war lords to grow opium, as in 90% of world production, to bolster the war on drugs machine, yet it is Americans who go to jail, die from use, get victimized by those caught up in a the culture of addiction, it remains a crime. Takes functioning governmental duties, underfunds, enviserates & dismantles them to make them fail then subcontracts out to Big business, so they can be mediocre & double the cost. Follow the money, seems to gravitate to a very few pockets, who in turn buy Republican & Democratic votes, and a National Media that is becoming more & more consolidated.
We all see this going on & do very little to stop or even impede it. What will you do if, Yes if he decides to set up a crisis to justify him remaining in control after Jan 2009. Take up arms? Blog? Or as most of us did after 911 & just go along with the Oki Dok, because we are to busy wondering who the next American Idol will be?
Impeach & Imprison Him Now! Bush is not scary, we are.
“Well, he is the president…” Um, no, he’s not and has never been. Installed by the felonious 5 on the supreme court, he is an unelected stooge of the NWO.

June 1st, 2007 at 1:35 pmdude,
i’m starting to think it’s all about credit card debt.
that’s the trap!
get people so beholden to labor they can’t fight back.
if we were all truly “free” people – there would be rioting in the streets.
the whitehouse would be under seige.
but everyone is a sheep – beholden to their debtors. they can’t step out for even a second, without putting themselves and family in jeopardy.
the real devil in the details is debt!!!!!!!!!!!!
the whole thing has been set up by the government. everyone is screwed!
everyone, simultaneously, refuse to pay credit card debts – riot in the streets.
i know this message will get me on some “lists” because it is totally true.

June 1st, 2007 at 2:10 pmComments regarding general strikes and payment strikes give me hope…this will really crash the system…but, how does it start?
I, after years of trying to catch up and continually getting laid off, am considering bankrupcy. The amount of interest I’ve paid them over time more than comphensates them for the principal, and the interest rates are nothing short of usury, so I feel no guilt. In fact, I may forego bankruptcy, and just stop paying them.
I think sa is right…Americans are stuck in a debt system that has them paying bankers a large hunk of their wages. Think about it. The average mortgage ends up paying the lender three times what the buyer borrows, and there are no other bank products to chose from. From what I understand, this is not so in Arabic and Muslim regions, where the banks assume part of the risk of buying a home. Look, a 40,000 automobile can be paid off in 6 or 7 years, so why not a house? It’s a rigged game.
I know that I am basically working for the mortgage bankers and the credit-card hucksters. Sure, it’s “my fault” for ever getting involved, but hey, ever try to travel without a credit card? Could you buy a house without a loan? This is what keeps Americans slaving at their jobs and afraid to confront the corporations…they are scared that they will lose their jobs, and their homes, and their new SUV. Frankly, I’m sick of it…they have used me long enough…and I’ve put up with their shareholder ass-licking and their invasions of my privacy, and now it’s time for them to get their comuppance.
Eat that, AMEX…
June 1st, 2007 at 2:15 pmare you freaking kidding me!? pray for “our” president – “you wouldn’t want the responsibilities he has”?!! – who among us with a brain and a soul wouldn’t LOVE that opportunity! only a dunce/freak would offer up such an opinion. oh god, give me that opportunity! in a second i’d take the helm! lemmings should walk off cliffs together. it’s time- go away.

About eight hours ago, Merlin asked for more info on Georgie Anne Geyer. This link below is to a column July 2001 in which she backs Otto Reich and John Negroponte, Contras at worst are “motley”, and the Sandanistas are the huge threat:

June 1st, 2007 at 2:22 pmThis is why the Constitution excludes things that give dictatorial powers to one person. Unfortunately, the criminal, spineless, complicit as always Congress and the putrid, enabling mainstream media have kept the people in the dark and not informed them of the dictator like directives and such given to this madman. The government IS our enemy and we need to get that spread to the masses. The propaganda that is spewed on TV, in newspapers, and radio, is what is
June 1st, 2007 at 2:23 pmkeeping up the illusion of government caring about we the people. We’ve ALWAYS been their enemy, and they will do whatever is necessary to keep it that way. The elite bankers and globalists ARE the government, and unless this scam is figured out and exposed by millions of us worldwide, we will be their slaves and worse, murdered for trying to reveal the truth or not agreeing to their dictatorial wishes and demands. Inform, inform, inform! Knowledge is the key to defeating these criminal bastards and bitches! They should fear us, not the other way around. NEVER, EVER trust what your government says and does, EVER! NEVER agree to give up any liberties and freedoms, for better security. The government IS the terrorist, not some Muslims, Arabs, etc., in a cave somewhere. The enemy is within, always has been. As Abraham Lincoln said: ” America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it’s because we destroyed ourselves.”

They are over worked and burnt out!” Why can’t Mr wonderful come off his high horse and admit that he has made a hugh mistake? LOL!! I know he won’t do it but this mad man must go! I had hopes of the Demo Congress to do it but I guess they have become the rubber stamp that the old Congress was. What a disappointment to say the least. Peace to all…..

June 1st, 2007 at 3:33 pmIt is clear that Bush is trying to get the U.S. so deeply invested in Iraq that we can never leave (or at least not leave for the next 50 years).
Bush’s incoherent rantings are making him sound more and more like the fictional Gen. Jack D. Ripper (of Dr. Strangelove fame) who launched his nuclear attack in the belief that, once his planes were pass the failsafe point, the politicians in Washington would have NO CHOICE but to launch a full scale attack.
I am afraid that lunatic in Washington with his finger on “the button.”

He and his ilk all need to be impeached, tried, convicted and sentenced for their crimes against this nation and humanity.
Let the investigations uncover the constructs of the PNAC GOP agenda to seize control for their own benefit. War profittering is a crime.
Congress must step up to the plate and hold them accountable for their actions over the past six years in office.

Thanks Zooey, for what is undoubtly true. I knew he would not have the guts to confront me. He is of that mealy mouth breed of 101st fighting keyboardist creeps we see here frequently.
BTW. Have you noticed, all of a sudden, that the trolls say “I don’t support the administration (or president), BUT…” The word “BUT” used this way, psychologically says, “I didn’t mean what I just said before the BUT. Interesting, huh?
TROLL UPDATE, film at 11:
June 1st, 2007 at 5:52 pmThat locker room meeting of the trolls at the West Hollywood Gym for Men, last night with VV giving a lecture probably stressed that. Word has it that VV is pissed that they aren’t doing their job in an adequate fashion. I tried telling ‘em TP is the big leagues and to shape up, or ship back to the minor leagues over at little green footballs.
It is clear to me that both Bush and Cheney have committed impeachable offenses. Probably the easiest to prove would be perjury, since they both swore to uphold and defend the Constitution, which they have both done everything they could to attack and undermine. That said, I find the repeated name-calling both infantile and inane.
June 1st, 2007 at 5:59 pmIt is even more inane for the writers on this forum to hurl personal attacks at those with whom they disagree. Not every person with whom one disagrees is an a$$h@le. Not everyone who is politically right of center is a facist or a Nazi. Not everyone who opposes the current conflict is a stooge of al-Quaida. Not everyone who believes/d that Sadaam was a vicious dictator that the Iraqi people hated and feared, as well as a threat to his neighbors, is a “neo-con idiot”.
As to the original story, Georgie Anne Geyer is not known for her strict adherence to fact when fact didn’t support what she wanted to say. It is conceivable that she created the meeting, the friends and their fears out of whole cloth, as she has created realities on other occasions. George Bush and Dick Cheney may be evil and corrupt. I think it would be a dangerous mistake to consider either of them stupid or crazy/
Werner Heisenberg’s “National Socialist student†and “Max Planck.â€
My next political conversation, which I found very topical for today, comes from Physics and Beyond, Encounters and Conversations by the famous German physicist Werner Heisenberg. In chapter 12 of Revolution and Student Life we come upon two revealing colloquies, one with a National Socialist student and one with the father of German science, Max Planck. In the subtext Heisenberg sees, like the great period of change after the middle ages, the results of great technical change and upheaval taking place that is leading some nations to war.
A National Socialist student finds Professor Heisenberg who graciously grants time for and takes questions from this student who soon “pours his heart out.†“Why are you so offish towards the movement?†This sets off a great extensive give and take on assessment of political objectives that ends with Heisenberg countering the students “New Germany†and “more foes, more hero’s†position with: “I am firmly convinced that we must never judge political movements by their aims. Now when it comes to means, you National Socialists are no different from the Communists; the leaders of both movements have clearly lost faith in the persuasive force of their own ideas. Hence both leave me quite unmoved except for the fact that I am sadly convinced that both will bring down misfortune on Germany.†During the weeks following this conversation university life only became more intolerable because of greater political interference by the Nazi authorities. Jewish faculty and colleagues were being dismissed so Heisenberg sought out an interview with Max Planck.
Right off Max says, “You have come to get my political advice on a political questions but I am afraid I can no longer advise you. I see no hope of stopping the catastrophe that is about to engulf all our universities, indeed our whole country…..I would like to appraise you of my conversation with Hitler a few days ago. I had hoped to convince him that he was doing enormous damage to the German university, and particularly to physical research, by expelling our Jewish colleagues; to show him how senseless and utterly immoral it was to victimize men who have always thought of themselves a Germans, and who offered up their lives for Germany like everyone else. But I failed to make myself understood-or, worse, there is simply no language in which one can talk to such men. He has lost all contact with reality. What others say to him is at best an annoying interruption, which he immediately drowns by incessant repetitions of the same old phrases about the decay of healthy intellectual life during the past fourteen years, about the need to stop the rot even at this late hour, and so on. All the time, one has the fatal impression that he believes all the nonsense that he pours forth, and he indulges his own delusions by ignoring all outside influences. He is so possessed by his so-called ideas that he is no longer open to argument. A man like that can only lead Germany into disaster.â€
To stay or flee prewar Germany is considered along with the different outcomes and then the fellow professor bids his leave. Heisenberg on the way home decides to stay in Germany for the sake of German science and “think of the time after the catastrophe,†the only advice that Max Planck could offer him. Two years later the first shot would open World War II. I cannot help but see a reflection of where we are today in this political conversation and how the philosophy of neither Jefferson nor Dr. King, as we shall see, would have never been welcome in Nazi Germany as Professor Heisenberg eventually found out. Indeed, we find two chapters later in Behavior in the Face of Political Disaster the courageous German scientist uttering, “We shall simply have to wait. Until such time as we can do anything at all.

June 1st, 2007 at 6:06 pmJust curious, but why is there no mention of these “friends” of his names?
Sounds pretty bogus, even if I’m not a fan of his. Sometimes I get the feeling our side has too many lying loonies. Sometimes it seems like we’re worse than the republicans.

June 1st, 2007 at 8:51 pmThis isn’t altogether surprising. George Walker Bush is a prime example of what happens when cousins marry… he is quite literally an inbred.
His parents are cousins. If you don’t believe me and think I’m just being mean, or if the editors are considering rejecting this comment for being hate speech or non-factual, check Burke’s Peerage… George Herbert Walker Bush and Barbara Pierce are COUSINS. And Junior is what happens when cousins marry.

Sure, after all the hoopla about Bush “beating his chest,” all I heard was of the murderer stating that “I am the Decider” (referring to Rumsfelds’ outing).
I haven’t seen any video yet on the killer beating his chest.

June 2nd, 2007 at 12:50 amneocon(munists) had something to do with 9-11.
Considering Prescott Bushs ties to Hitler, I feel this person playing the grand dictator must be removed from office. Maybe the deserter-in-chief could fulfill his military obligation by serving in Iraq as a mine finder.
He should be replaced with someone that doesn’t believe that the Constitution is just a “God damned piece of paper.” I would pray that that person doesn’t get assassinated by the true rulers of the US for trying to enforce the Constitution like Kennedy did. After all the United States has been foreign owned and operated since 1913.
May God help us.
my goodness . . . so much to say about this pathetic POS. The rats are jumping ship and Captian Queeg walks the halls re-arranging his collection of My Legacy Golden Books . . . if this keeps up we’re gonna need a deeper ocean to drown those rats . . .
June 2nd, 2007 at 3:36 amDear Friends:
It is obvious from the story that the Shrub never really grew out
of “authoritarian narcissistic”, “skull and bones”, sophomoric, pugnacious puberty.
So what? There is nothing new about how his “authoritarian narcissistic” personality disorders express themselves in various ways.
But, please, may I ask the rest of the contributors to this blog to try and keep it about the “sophomoric, pugnacious pubertarian level.”
Leave that to the hysterical neo-cons.
Enjoy your post memorial day holidays. Pray for everybody in Iraq.
As for Mr Bush, he reminds me that the human genome structure has about 30.000 genomes, while those of our closest relatives, the chimpanzee, have only 27.000. No better proof of Darwin`s theories than Mr. Bush himself. (Being a bit silly and sophomoric myself- I wonder if his father and mother did not celebrate the end of W.W. II at a New York Socialite party in the N.Y. zoo, and Barbara, having had a bit too much to drink, had a black out and passed out in the chimpanzee cage for the evening? – No wonder he is opposed to human genome research. )
Anyhow – enjoy the day.

June 2nd, 2007 at 4:02 amA borderline retard with a double-digit IQ has single-handedly humiliated the United States and endangered the entire world. But enough about George W. Bush. As the role of US president is so important, should voting be restricted to US citizens with an IQ of 100 and over? Then GWB wouldn’t have even been able to vote. Look at IQ average by state and notice how Red States fall into the lower half of the chart. I’m trying to avoid arriving at the obvious conclusion, but you simply can’t. If the US had let in more Asians it may have raised the average in some states.
June 2nd, 2007 at 4:07 amIn September of 2006, I wrote a piece on Bush’s mental condition, substantiated with appropriate links; I was curious why that article was once again receiving more hits – but after reading the above it’s now obvious. Once again, the President’s mental state is again questioned – and people are searching for any links that demonstrate previous mental instability.
These reports substantiate the suspicions back in 2006 and demonstrate that it’s entirely possible that the President of The United States could be suffering from serious psychological and/or other issues that affect his ability to carry out his duties:
Bush Sr., Psychiatrists worry President is having Mental Breakdown! Updated!
I find it truly frightening that the American people have no legal way to demand a psychological evaluation of a President suspected of suffering from a possible mental breakdown; I am hopeful our military and other federal entities are somehow monitoring this situation and have some sort of plan to implement if he demonstrates (by an irrational order or extremely bizarre behavior) that he is a risk to himself and others.
June 2nd, 2007 at 7:12 amNot surprising – he has the mentality of an 8 year old. He doesn’t know how to logically resolve conflict. Instead, he beats his chest like an emotionally challenged child. When are we going to wake up and get that Bozo out of office? IMPEACH.
June 2nd, 2007 at 8:57 amThis story is probably bull, and the article it is taken from betrays a total lack of understanding of the Bush administrations view of the world:
The White House sees terrorists as born, not created by history, bearing the mark of Cain, not the mark of circumstance. There is a scarlet “T” written on their foreheads at birth and the only answer is to destroy them. This kind of thinking, of course, relieves the thinker of any responsibility for the presence of the insurgent-terrorist-whatever in our innocent midst.
No, they don’t. If they did we would not be in Iraq. The entire war on terror is based on Bush’s belief that terrorism can be defeated by giving its likely practitioners a more hopeful world. More then any other president, Bush sees terrorism as something that can be solved. By no means does he view terrorism as a static force.
June 2nd, 2007 at 9:09 amNucking Futz.
1) He knows he did not win either election and it is eating
him up inside.
b) He knows that Dick Cheney and others see themselves as
the real leaders.
iii) He knows that he is going down and that all he can do is
lash out in rage & fury.
Take the “football” away from him.
June 2nd, 2007 at 9:36 amWHO is watching these lunitics?
June 2nd, 2007 at 10:25 amWHO is watching the FOOTBALL?
(football is the blackbox for nukes ect,if u believe the movies)
This guy is not only stupid, he’s NUTS. He and Cheney should be dragged out of the WH, put in jail for war crimes, treason, and murder. Then the sentence for those crimes should be carried out once convicted. It’s that simple. The sentence should be carried out on TV so the whole world can see that in America, finally, we do what is right.

He uses 9.11 like it’s his Reichstag Fire.
He lies about it.
He has confidence is GONZALES? who’s proven to be a bad liar AND incompetent AND corrupt AND loyal to a CRIMINAL subversion of our elections, (see GregPalast.com, whose now been able to get Conyers to see the Rove emails) . We’ve caught them with blood and the smeared ink of the Constitution / Bill of Rights dripping off of their hands 100 times now. GO CONYERS AND KUCINICH. IT’s a race against the clock to get them out of office NOW, not later.
in the meantime WATCH OUT for MORE FALSE FLAG TERROR ATTACKS on US CITIZENS!
June 2nd, 2007 at 4:21 pm(google Operation Northwoods for the govt. documents that will change your worldview, if it’s still “post 9/11″.)
Spare a thought for Britain. While you in the US have had to put with Bush for the past 6 years, we in Britain have had the mis-fortune of having the self righteous Tony Blair for the past 10 years.
While I applaud the Democratic System as a means of rule – lately I am having serious doubts about this mechanism as a means of electing asses who seemingly exhibit a total disinterest in the will of the people who, in hindsight & therefore stupidity, elected them in the first place.
So called ‘democratic checks & balances’ in Western Democracies appear to have failed miserably to contain the blatantly undemocratic excesses of our government. They openly lie to their electorate while large sections of our media consistently refuse to expose them, & in many cases spin & re-spin the lies until ignorant of truth many of us unwittingly accept the lie as truth.
Please excuse my cynical outlook – but history will surely record the unfortunate times we live in as a period when our sensibilities were so subverted that we took to sleepwalking as a national sport.
June 2nd, 2007 at 4:54 pm“Friends of his from Texas were shocked…”?????!!!!! WTF???!!! You mean it’s taken them this long to figure out that this dufuss is not fit to be the President??!! Just how stupid are his friends?!
June 3rd, 2007 at 12:18 amWhy are people still sooo brainwashed and blind to everything that has been going on for along time such as the bohemian grove meetings that have been publicly going on for many decades, bilderberg meetings of the global elite(as of now in istanbul at the ritz carlton theres their yearly meeting going on and TX governor rick perry has been invited this to attend this year), and the corrupt lies we have been told about like putting fluoride in the water supply and thinking its acceptable to put your kids in front of the mind control machine we call the tv for hours and along with that everyone believes almost everything thats reported on tv most is twisted and so much more is never ever covered. THIS RANT BY BUSH IS ANOTHER WINDOW INTO THEIR ACTUALLY PLANS. IT IS DOCUMENTED THAT WHEN THE IRAQ WAR STARTED CLASSIFIED MILITARY MEMOS STATED THEY PLANNED THAT THE WAR WOULD GO FOR 30 YEARS. THEY ARE MAKING PERMANENT BASE CAMPS THERE AS WE SPEAK
June 3rd, 2007 at 2:23 amOk, if the president didnt win the popular vote twice in a row, and if said ‘president’, illegally wiretaps his own citizens, has them arrested and held without charges, indefinately, in secret prisons, lies to the populous and doctors intelligence to invade and occupy a foreign country AND tries to take-over the judiciary system by hiring loyalists into non-partisan positions to insure future election fraud…cant we find a reason to impeach his dishonest, unworthy ass?
June 3rd, 2007 at 5:16 amSooooo many people on every progressive site are asking: “Why hasn’t Bush been impeached?” The evidence is there, loads of it, and more is appearing almost daily. Bush’s advisor’s are jumping ship en masse’ – yet the two perpetrators of this assault against America are still running the country. Why?
It’s a logical question when we look back at the ferocity of the Clinton Impeachment proceedings – where “being honest and truthful” became a wedge issue for the Republican Party. Now, with evidence and charges that make Clinton look like a choir boy compared to Bush – Congress refuses to begin impeachment proceedings against this administration. Everyone asks why, over and over again. Nothing seems to make sense.
Personally, I believe it all makes sense! If you look back at the years when J. Edgar Hoover was in charge of the FBI, it was revealed that Hoover had smut and dirt on most of the politicians in Washington, and he used that knowledge to blackmail those who were his opponents; Unfortunately, it worked for J. Edgar Hoover – and I believe the Neo-cons learned well from Mr. Hoover – and have employed his tactics to hold on to power in spite of the growing mountain of evidence that demands Bush/Cheney be impeached, indicted, and eventually thrown in prison for crimes against humanity.
Now the Presidency has the NSA wiretapping program to gather intel on our own Congressmen – and some think that’s exactly whats happening!
The NSA Wiretapping Program – Is Bush spying on Politicians?
No, there is no “smoking gun” – but with the interference and roadblocks presented by the White House, very little progress, if any, is being made in the investigation of NSA, evidence that could seal this President’s fate!
Five Million emails missing? Sure, they just disappeared. Many Bloggers have assumed these “missing emails” were destroyed because they would have proven election fraud – and they probably would; much more sinister than election fraud would be the blackmailing of key members of Congress – evidence of such which was probably contained in those emails which is now “lost” (sic).
There has to be a reason that Congress is being cowed by a President that has little real support; when we found the Justice Department had been infiltrated by Pat Robertson clones and was now an extension of White House policy rather than a separate branch of government – the uproar should have toppled this administration post haste, and under normal circumstances, it would have spelled doom to any other President with a scandal that made Watergate look insignificant in comparison; For Bush, it seems to be nothing more than a slight “speed bump,” and there has to be a reason.
If Bush has broken just about every law on the books – why wouldn’t he avail himself of the one asset that could be keeping him in power? If the Constitution is nothing more than a “Goddamn piece of paper†to President Bush, why does anyone “assume†that he hasn’t broken other laws and statutes to keep his illegal administration in power?
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:19 amAlas, we can add insanity to his long list of deficient reasoning abilities – Impeach the imbecile now!
June 3rd, 2007 at 10:53 amWell, if this doesn’t convince the “creationist” freaks of the validity of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, nothing will. Not only are humans descended from savage, bloodthirsty jungle apes, there are obviously many – such as this pathetic creature – who have a lot of catching up to do.
June 3rd, 2007 at 12:12 pmBush like the Captain in Moby Dick has gone insane.
Yes Ohio Congressman John Boehner cried like a spoiled child who wasn’t getting his way. He in fact hates the troops along with most of the GOP in D.C.
That’s right! Go look at the way the Dems and the GOP voted for veterans issues in 2005. Most GOP voted 0 ZERO% while the DEMS have nearly a 98%.

(don’t all OOOOOOoo at once) you people are so typical of the reason we are in this mess to begin with Irresponsibility!!!! you are all so conditioned to letting some one else do it for you (like mom and dad)…that you haven’t even got the guts anymore to get up off your ass and take action writing won’t do anything………….

June 6th, 2007 at 12:36 pmShane said: Where were his handlers to keep him under control. I know he has them because Lewis Black talks about them. ….. he is entirely delusional.
Bush is, and has been since being elected, an egomaniacal, bellicose, idiot that his “bosses” never anticipated. He needs a straight jacket, a major tranquilizer and removal from the presidency before he completely destroys this nation! Supporters of this pernicious, miscreant are just plain stupid! Many are low level military (NCO’s) or ex military and war and authority is all they understand. Never question authority is their creed! The dumbing and destruction of America has been going on for too long under this crass individual’s leadership!

Sounds like Bush taking is credit for the work of others. And who’da thunk? I certainly believe he might do a little “chest thumping”, but only because he’s a spoiled-rotten rich kid, who thinks he’s entitled to take anything he damn-well wants.
Essentially, George W. Bush is a corporate puppet — probably not bright enough to mastermind his own bodily functions, let alone a global disaster like “Iraq”. Anyone who responds to his “chest-thumping” and cries, “I told you so”, is missing a much larger and more sinister picture.
June 10th, 2007 at 10:56 pmWhile I don’t have the technical knowledge to create such a site, I think I have the idea and would like to send it out there to the techies that are so well “endowed” with skills. This is the idea, create a site of Gee-Dubya’s future Pres-u-denchul Lie-Bury, where as you enter, you are presented with various piles of debris, papers, etc. of his endless, numerous, filthy and cluttered coverups, lies, blatant misrepresentations, etc.. Under the various piles could be nasty varmints with Cheney and Rove like faces, scurrying about like the cockroaches they are. As you click on the piles of shit, you are directed to videos, newsclips, etc. that document these lies in chronological order so they can be seen from fast frothy conception to bloody, life sucking, limb severing abortion. This is his legacy, and unfortunately ours since we failed in some twisted ways to void his illegal rule and corrupt administration. It’s funny, but not in a ha ha way. Kind of like laughing at the handicapped kid who gets chosen as prom king.
June 11th, 2007 at 3:57 pmI’m sorry, but this petty argument is giving me a headache. I’m 15 years old, but I’m pretty interested in this whole ordeal. The fact my generation will be ravaged by war( Think All Quiet On The Western Front) gives me the strength to speak out against this war. If you truly must esort to childish name-calling and personal attacks, your opinion is worthless to me. In the case of bible-thumpers who treat this war as another Crusade, I shall refer to one of the Ten Commandments: Thou Shalt Not Kill. There is no justification for the actions of this administration. Bush and his cronies are all criminals, and deserve to be tried on war crimes. Under no circumstances should any moral person be a blind patriot. Consider this: You work in an office, and you discover your manager has been moonlighting for a competitor, and personally profits from from the office’s misfortune. As your superior, he demands that you keep it a secret. Would you hold your tongue just
June 12th, 2007 at 6:51 pmbecause he’s your superior? Granted, the reality is much more complex, but the concept is the same. The neocons have nothing to lose from this war. As always, this is the Children’s Crusade. This isn’t Bush’s war anymore- I
For Bush to have such bravado fightens me. This behavior is suited for silverbacks, not the de facto leader of the free world. Now obviously some one will send a scathing reply, no doubt calling me a flower-fondling liberal. So, in response, I want to let everyone know that that the Democrats let us down too. I would find it funny if someone were to criticize the opinions of someone who can’t even vote yet.
June 12th, 2007 at 6:59 pmWhen we take over in ‘08, we will round up the neocons and the facists and the Jerry Falwellians and just beat the living crap out of you Fright-Wingers for about 12 years. Deal with it.

Our cousins the chimps are worried, too.
They don’t want him either.
